Why the study?
Pre-procedural 12-lead ECG criteria are required to reliably locate idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias before catheter ablation, particularly distinguishing between right and left ventricular outflow tract origins.
This new 12-lead ECG database provides validated data to improve the pre-procedural identification of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia origins (RVOT vs LVOT) prior to catheter ablation.

May aid ECG differentiation of RVOT vs LVOT VA origins; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
Cardiac catheter ablation has shown the effectiveness of treating the idiopathic premature ventricular complex and ventricular tachycardia. As the most important prerequisite for successful therapy, criteria based on analysis of 12-lead ECGs are employed to reliably speculate the locations of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia before a subsequent catheter ablation procedure. Among these possible locations, right ventricular outflow tract and left outflow tract are the major ones. We created a new 12-lead ECG database under the auspices of Chapman University and Ningbo First Hospital of Zhejiang University that aims to provide high quality data enabling detection of the distinctions between idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia from right ventricular outflow tract to left ventricular outflow tract. The dataset contains 334 subjects who successfully underwent a catheter ablation procedure that validated the accurate origins of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia.
